Inspired by the Sophia M. Pearce quilt c.1840, in the archives of the Winterthur Museum and Country Estate, and made popular in a previous issue of Fons and Porter Magazine, this kit is on sale for $100. Only one left, first one who calls to order, gets it. Finishes approximately 74" x 74", $100.00, previously $139.95; with blue scallops instead of the green in photo:

Once upon a time...

Three ladies met at Quilt Guild. They started making small quilts as wall hangings. These "little quilts" became so popular and before the girls knew it, they were selling them. The three ladies were so busy making small quilts, in 1986, they decided to sell kits so people could make thier own "little quilts." Not too long after that, they started designing thier own patterns. What started out as a "hobby" turned into a "little" business of selling kits and patterns. The three ladies wanted to be able to offer more to thier customers so in 1998, Little Quilts opened in an old corn mill in Marietta... and the rest, as they say, is history.
